About Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT)
Why are you overpaying SDLT?
Simply put, SDLT is a tax that nobody treats like a tax. Taxpayers tend to rely on their solicitors, who tend to defer to HMRC’s online calculator as a quick and easy way to calculate the liability. That calculator, intended by HMRC as ‘a guide,’ lacks the capacity to correctly assess anything other than the most straightforward purchase.
Only the advice of an Experienced and Qualified Stamp Duty Specialist can ensure that the correct amount of SDLT is paid. Still, most people don’t fully appreciate that SDLT is a self-assessed tax, and specialist advice is seldom sought.
Solicitors unsupported
Solicitors, lawyers, agents and financial advisors are not tax specialists, and yet have been found liable in cases where they have made incorrect assumptions regarding a property, which then led to incorrect payments being made.
HMRC calculator
There are serious shortcomings in the HMRC’s online SDLT tax calculator, which was not designed with the various nuances of the property tax system and its 30+ reliefs in mind. Despite those shortcomings, the buyers and their solicitors frequently rely on it. HMRC themselves have previously admitted it is there to serve as a ‘mere guide’.
